A stone age experience...

Wat je gaat doen

Live a unique experience off the beaten tracks and travel back in time to the Stone Age…
After a 30mn drive from Sarlat in a comfortable van, we will reach a hidden gem : my favourite prehistoric painted cave.
Before the guided tour of the cave, I will show you the different paleolithic technologies used to make a fire, to light up in a cave and to paint.
This prehistoric cave is unique for several reasons :
- this is an original painted cave (not a copy like Lascaux 4) with a beautiful geology (stalactites, salagmites, columns..)
- these are the oldest prehistoric paintings done by Cro-Magnon man in the area (30 000 years). You will discover black and red paintings of ice age animals (ibexes, mammoths, horses, megaceros ..) but also human representations which is very rare in paleolithic art.

Waar je zult zijn

This experience takes place in Cougnac, one of the oldest painted prehistoric caves in the region.
Most of the drawings were made by the Cro-Magnon man 30,000 years ago.
The demonstration takes place under a shelter near the entrance of the cave before the guided tour of the cave.
